Introducing: The 'Learn to Love...' Podcast Series

[NOTE: The Learn to Love... podcasts are not currently available. Back soon!]

I've been planning this for what seems like forever, and it is finally on the road. Curious of what it is all about? Read on...

The Concept

Nearly all of us strive to be better, and we have proved how well we can do with the Make Your Life Amazing series, but, often, there are annoying barriers that stand in our path. We are all human, after all, and we cannot be perfect at everything, so when it comes to waking up early, or being organised, or keeping fit, we may struggle or feel overwhelmed.

That's where the 'Learn to Love...' series comes in. It's time we tackle these niggling issues, combat them once and for all, and shimmy on ahead into the life we picture ourselves enjoying. These podcasts will not be a reeling off of ideas already expressed on the blog, no siree; I have strived not simply to encourage you, but to be completely practical too.

Each episode will be stuffed with realistic, straight forward advice, divided by subheadings, with a scattering of extra tips called 'Love Notes' and a ten point summary to finish, so that you can digest all the information easily, or even print it as an action plan.

The Podcasts

Every one of the twelve podcasts will be at least 3000 words (that's around 20 minutes playing time) and come combined with a PDF version of the article being spoken, so that you may follow along or print and save it for later.

The Price

Each episode in the series will be available for just one shiny Great British Pound. That's right, just £1. And, what's even better is that twenty pence of each sale will be gathered up and donated by me to the Look Good, Feel Better campaign, so that all the hard work we're doing to improve ourselves can have a positive impact on others who are doing the same.

Praise

"I only listened to a few brief moments of each podcast but I am already in love! Your accent is so adorbz & from scanning the PDF's, I feel like I'm really going to get something valuable out of them. Longer review when I'm finished - but so far, I'm super impressed!" - Erica, Reader

"I absolutely LOVED the podcast. It was so good. I don't really have a problem with getting up in the morning, but the part about creating morning routines was so helpful! Also, you have the cutest voice + accent ever. I've already listened to it three or four times." - Greta, Reader

"I´ve listened to the whole thing twice, and will definitely listen again - many times! You´ve struck the heart of the matter, addressed my psychological attitude towards saving and spending. Very solid and sober advice there, thanks...I´m thinking of buying your first podcast too, although I don´t really have a problem with waking up early, but this one is so good that I want to miss anything! I´m already awaiting your next podcast!" - Eternal Voyageur

Megan, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVED the podcast. It was so good. I don't really have a problem with getting up in the morning, but the part about creating morning routines was so helpful! Also, you have the cutest voice + accent ever. I've already listened to it three or four times. And yesterday, when I wrote a list of things I was grateful for at the moment, I included the podcast. That's how much I love it!By the way, I ordered your annual a couple of weeks ago, and I was just wondering how long you think it'll take before I get it? I live in Sweden, so obviously it will take some time, but I can hardly wait to get it in my hands :D

Greta - Thanks so much for the lovely feedback! That will have to go on the site somewhere :)About the Annual, I posted yours out at the end of last week (Jan 29th) first class, so I'm sure it should be with you soon. How long do things from the UK usually take to reach you? If it doesn't arrive early next week I will try to find out what the problem is.
